GRANDMA'S ITALIAN MEATBALLS
This recipe is from my Italian grandmother. The one change she made to get with the times was to use Ragu sauce instead of homemade, and she declared that it still tasted just as good. It's never failed to impress the people I make it for. My husband says these meatballs have forever ruined him to other people's, or even restaurant meatballs. The real secret is in the time you take to slowly cook the meatballs in the sauce. Don't skimp and just toss the sauce on and eat it. It will still taste good, but not anything like it should be. The raisins are meant to absorb the acidity and impart a little sweetness to the sauce. This recipe can easily be multiplied to feed more people.

Steps:
- In a large pot or dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic, sauté until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer covered, with lid slightly ajar to prevent splattering for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Set the oven rack to the lower-middle position and set it to broil. Line a large baking sheet with foil and lightly grease it with olive oil. Set aside.In a large bowl, add the ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, minced onion, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic. Use hands to mix thoroughly until combined.
- Measure and roll the ground beef mixture into ⅓ cup (3 ounces) rounds, about the size of an egg. Evenly space the pieces on the baking sheet, there should be about 14 to 15 meatballs.
- Broil the meatballs until the surface is browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown the other side.
- Transfer the meatballs to the tomato sauce. Cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar, simmer on low heat for at least 1 ½ hours, checking and stirring every 20 minutes, or as needed. The meatballs should be fork tender when sliced.
- At the end of cooking, adjust the consistency of the sauce with water if needed, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve meatballs with spaghetti topped with sauce, sliced basil, and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients (except the olive oil and wine) in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- To make the meatballs: With damp hands, take a portion of the ground beef mixture and roll between palms to form a 1-inch round ball that is firmly packed. Repeat. Cook's Tip: If the ground beef mixture becomes too dry for the meatballs to properly stick together, add a sprinkle of water to the mixture as needed.
- Cook the meatballs one of two (2) ways:.
- a. Grandma's way was to drop the hand rolled meatballs into boiling hot tomato sauce during the last 20-30 minutes of the sauce's cooking time.
- b. Another popular method in our family is to fry the meatballs. Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over a medium-high flame. Add the meatballs, but do not over-crowd the skillet - Cook in a single layer. Cook for 10 or so minutes. As meatballs are finishing, add a little bit of red wine to de-glazethe skillet. Cook's Tip: Brown well on bottoms before turning, or meatballs will break apart. DO NOT OVERCOOK.
- DELICIOUS VARIATION TO THIS RECIPE: Add one (1) chopped anchovie to the above-described ground beef mixture. Reduce your salt to a 1/4 teaspoon.
